00:00 I found her years ago when I was living in Montreal.
00:03 Poupée was living in the alley with other cats.
00:05 Then in late fall, one day, it started to snow.
00:09 I saw she was pregnant.
00:11 I knew I had to take her in.
00:13 She totally trusted me.
00:14 (cat meows)
00:15 She gave birth about two, three days after.
00:18 (speaking in foreign language)
00:19 We found families for all the kitties, great families,
00:23 but Poupée, she was here to stay.
00:25 (cat meows)
00:27 She wasn't meant to be a feral cat.
00:29 She was meant to be the queen of the house.
00:31 (cat purrs)
00:33 She's very delicate, I would say a girly cat.
00:36 When she asks for pets or treats,
00:39 she just stroked my arms gently with her paws.
00:43 Her paws look like little hands.
00:45 It's irresistible.
00:46 Poupée means doll in French.
00:50 The two cheeks are so cute.
00:52 They look like cotton balls.
00:54 (cat purrs)
00:59 She loves Barbies.
01:00 She hugs them, cuddles them.
01:02 She spends the whole day with all her toys.
01:09 Poupée is very gentle with all her birdie siblings.
01:13 She loves them.
01:15 She's still a little skittish.
01:16 I am the only one who can really cuddle her.
01:19 It's very rough for cats to be in the alley.
01:22 She was so tiny and frail, so she was a victim for sure.
01:26 There was a lady, she was always screaming at Poupée
01:28 with the broom and all that.
01:30 Now Poupée doesn't like people
01:32 to have their coats and boots on.
01:35 I'm sure that this is something that she saw the humans
01:39 with boots and coats on.
01:41 They were very threatening to her for sure.
01:44 So I cannot walk in the house with shoes.
01:46 It's a trigger for her.
01:48 (upbeat music)
01:50 While I went through treatments, she was there for me,
02:03 making biscuits and loud purring.
02:06 I'm sure that she knew that I needed her the most.
02:09 She showed me there is a place for gentleness,
02:12 for kindness in life.
02:14 Poupée is now a senior cat.
02:16 She is around 16.
02:17 It might sound childish, but she's truly my best friend.
02:22 We spent the whole day together.
02:24 We know exactly what the other one needs.
02:27 If we need space, then we need affection, we need trust.
02:31 We can always count on each other.
02:33 Poupée, she has such an intelligent gaze.
02:35 We really can read each other.
02:38 I hope she will still be with me
02:40 for many, many years to come.
02:42 When I look into her eyes, I see the soul behind the eyes.
02:46 I don't see a cat, I see Poupée.
02:49 Poupée, thank you for being.
02:51 Thank you for everything, Poupée.
02:53 You're the one who rescued me.
